Speaking at the ceremony, Mr Dordoe said the project formed part of the government’s commitment to improving educational infrastructure and creating a conducive environment for teaching and learning across the district.
He urged residents of Ubunja to take ownership of the facility and ensure its proper maintenance to enable future generations to benefit from the investment.
